and a simple subtitle file with the same EXACT name .srt, no caps, nothing.

Here's the SRT file.

I'm flummoxed. It works fine playing on my PC with VLC, and ... grr.

It just works. I don't get a subtitle file name when choosing Subtitle:On - so I really don't know what's happening. I DO know that I wasted an hour trying to figure this out!

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you open the srt file in a text editor? This what you see:

Code:

{4525}{4594}They stand there, barking.|26 dogs.
{4605}{4694}I see their mean faces.|They've come to kill.
{4707}{4770}And they tell my boss Bertold:
{4781}{4901}"Give us Boaz Rein, or we'll eat|your customers. In 1 minute! "

Above is not srt format. Looks like you have a subtitle, but it reference frames instead of time, NMT does not know how to handle it. Load your sub into subtitle workshop and convert it to submux srt format.

This is what a proper srt format looks like:

Quote:1
00:00:06,133 --> 00:00:13,000
Danger, the wall is caving in!

2
00:00:15,767 --> 00:00:17,467
Oh no, blood is everywhere.

3
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:24,900
Watch Out!

4
00:00:27,700 --> 00:00:28,700
Come on!

5
00:00:33,467 --> 00:00:34,567
Hurry Hurry!

Hope that helps.

Actually the popcorn hour should be able to handle that subtitle too, it looks like a MicroDVD subtitle file which should have the extension .sub.

So if you rename it moviename.sub that might be all you need to do.
